What is the difference between a Turkish knife and a French knife?

A Turkish knife is typically longer and thinner than a French knife. Turkish knives are also usually made of softer steel, which makes them less likely to chip or break. However, this means that they will need to be sharpened more often. French knives are shorter and have a thicker blade. They are made of harder steel, which makes them more durable but also more likely to chip or break if not used properly.

Can you put ceramic/porcelain tableware in microwave?

What kitchen utensils do I need?

A complete set of flatware typically includes knives, forks, spoons, and serving pieces. The number of each type of utensil required depends on the number of people being served, as well as the number of courses being served. For a more casual gathering, you may need only a few utensils, while a more formal event will require a larger set.

Another dependent is whether you cook or not. If you cook regularly, you might need durable and quality kitchen utensils while if you don’t cook you might just be fine with the regular serving pieces.
